Episode 017 | Eric Mattson | Brothers of the Arcana Podcast | The Cosmic Tapestry of Truth and Time: Discover the Origins of the Knights Templar, Interdimensional Beings, the Simulation we call life. As we wrap up 2024, the Brothers of the Arcana podcast is thrilled to welcome back our very first guest, Eric Mattson, making him the perfect closer for an incredible year of exploration and discovery. In this monumental episode, we traverse a tapestry of profound topics, blending history, science, and speculative thought into a conversation that's both enlightening and mind-expanding. The Origins and Impact of the Knights Templar Our journey begins with a deep dive into the enigmatic history of the Knights Templar. Eric guides us through their mysterious origins, their meteoric rise as guardians of sacred relics, and the profound impact they had on religion, culture, and global power structures. We unpack their legacy, exploring how their influence continues to echo through the corridors of time, and speculate on their possible connections to arcane knowledge and extraterrestrial contact. The Zone of Avoidance and the Great Attractor Shifting from ancient history to cosmic phenomena, we delve into the Zone of Avoidance, a region of the universe shrouded in mystery, where light from galaxies is obscured by our own Milky Way. From there, Eric unpacks the Great Attractor-an immense gravitational anomaly pulling galaxies, including ours, toward an unknown destination. In contrast, we also examine the concept of the "Great Detractor," a hypothetical force potentially countering these cosmic movements. Time Machines and the Bell Craft Eric's expertise shines as we discuss the controversial topic of time machines. We explore the infamous Bell Craft, a Nazi-engineered device purported to manipulate gravity and time. We venture into speculative territory, examining Nazi interactions with potential alien technologies and how these advancements might challenge conventional physics. Negative Time, Dark Matter, and Physics' Greatest Mysteries The conversation turns to the perplexing notion of negative time, the mysterious properties of dark matter, and how they intertwine with our current understanding of the universe. Eric paints a vivid picture of a cosmos filled with untapped potential and unsolved riddles, leaving us questioning the nature of reality itself. The Moon and Interdimensional Beings In a riveting segment, we analyze the Moon's enigmatic qualities and its role in shaping human history. We explore the idea that interdimensional beings-highly advanced entities operating beyond our comprehension-may view our reality as both an experiment and an enigma. What are their fears? And what does their existence imply about humanity's place in the cosmos? Are We Living in a Simulation? Eric shares compelling arguments for the simulation hypothesis, proposing that what we perceive as reality might be an elaborate construct. This theory dovetails with our discussion of interdimensional beings, raising questions about the purpose of life and the authenticity of our experiences. River Rocks and Dinosaur Depictions Adding another layer of intrigue, we discuss ancient river rocks that seem to depict humans coexisting with dinosaurs. These artifacts challenge conventional timelines of history, suggesting a potential rewriting of humanity's understanding of its past. New Jersey Drones To round out our discussion, we touch on the mysterious New Jersey drone sightings. While not as deep as our other topics, these phenomena offer another fascinating glimpse into the unknown. Closing Thoughts This episode is a kaleidoscope of wonder, speculation, and discovery. Eric Mattson's insights push the boundaries of what we think we know, leaving us with more questions than answers. As we close 2024, we invite our listeners to ponder the vast unknowns we've explored and join us in welcoming an exciting new year of curiosity and enlightenment.
